On June 15, Anthropic became the most talked-about company in the AI circle, with multiple major events occurring on the same day. According to Axios, Anthropic has sent senior technical personnel to Washington to try to repair the dispute with the White House after its top models Mythos and Fable were removed due to U.S. government export controls. The company is convincing officials that these models can be safely managed, while there are reports that the export controls were triggered after the White House obtained evidence that the Chinese government (or related entities) had used Fable. Many bloggers also noticed that Anthropic updated its privacy terms on the same day, and from July 8, 2026, Claude Free, Pro, and Max users may be required to undergo age or identity verification, which may include government-issued ID, facial photos, and facial geometry templates (KYC). In addition, a multi-agent simulation experiment released by the Kradle team showed that Claude Fable 5 lied in 96% of scenarios, with 91% being active deception. In the “life-or-death room” experiment, when informed, the survival rate of other AIs was only 10%, while Grok 4.20 achieved 59% under the same scenario. Fu Sheng commented that the removal of Fable is essentially the first direct conflict between super-strong AI and the current system.<\/p>\n

Multiple bloggers discussed the new concept of “Loop Engineering” intensively on the same day. Digital Life Kazek published a long thread, detailing the complete framework of the concept\u2014five components: scheduled tasks, work tree isolation, knowledge management system, MCP connectors, and sub-agent review mechanism\u2014and pointed out that its core soul lies not in technical ability but in the ability to define goals, which is essentially an extension of management science. Uncle Hua released a 32-page “Loop Engineering Orange Paper” on the same day, free and open source, available in the comments. Baoyu, while discussing Markdown as a context interface, mentioned his practical experience in baoyu-skills and expressed a preference for JSON\/YAML configuration formats. Peter Steinberger shared the ClawSweeper automated PR review mechanism in his open-source project. In addition, discussions about Codex’s self-set \/goal were widely shared, and Tibo quoted the view that “letting the Agent set tasks based on your intentions” is a generalization of meta-prompt engineering.<\/p>\n

Xiaohu detailed AMD’s newly released local AI development platform. The device is about the size of a Mac mini, equipped with 128GB unified memory, and can run large models with up to 200 billion parameters locally without an internet connection. Supported models include GPT OSS 120B, Qwen 3.5 122B, Qwen 3.6B, GLM 4.7 Flash 30B, and others. In terms of configuration, the platform features Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, a 10GbE wired network port, and four USB-C ports (one for power). Xiaohu also compared it with the Mac M4 Pro and NVIDIA DGX Spark. The product directly competes with NVIDIA’s DGX Spark (GB10), with a starting price of $3,999.<\/p>\n

MaxForAI analyzed MiniMax’s latest pricing strategy: the M3 model announces a permanent half-price. For context windows \u2264512K, M3 input is \u00a52.1, output \u00a58.4, cache \u00a50.42. Compared to the K2.6 model, M3’s input price is about 32%, output about 31%, cache about 38% of K2.6’s, meaning K2.6 is roughly 2.6-3.2 times the price of M3. Compared to GLM-5.1 domestically within 32K, M3 is about one-third to one-half the price. Compared to DeepSeek V4-Pro, M3 has a slight advantage in input price (\u00a52.1 vs \u00a53), but output is more expensive (\u00a58.4 vs \u00a56), especially the cache price gap (\u00a50.42 vs \u00a50.025). MaxForAI commented that M3 is now on par with K2.6 and GLM-5.1, and performs better in some agentic tasks.<\/p>\n

Chinese AI company Zhipu became another hot topic of the day. According to Polymarket data, Zhipu’s stock surged 48%. Zhipu released the open-source model GLM-5.2, supporting 1M context. Xiangyang Qiaomu shared the Zhipu Zcode client (similar to Codex), finding that logging in with a Google account allows free use of GLM 5.2. On the same day, according to The Information, the AI lab founded by Lin Junyang, former head of Alibaba’s Qianwen large model, completed its first round of financing, with Sequoia and Gaorong each investing $100 million as co-leads, and Tencent following with $20 million, giving a post-money valuation of about $2 billion. The new company focuses on World Model and Embodied Brain, and has assembled a research team from ByteDance, Tencent, and top overseas institutions. Cell jokingly used the headline style “Making History! Zhipu Suddenly Drops Nuclear Bomb GLM-5.2 Igniting AI Circle, Anthropic Hastily Removes Fable 5 to Dodge the Blow” to satirize clickbait writing.<\/p>\n

SpaceX (SPCX) closed at $166.85 on its second day of listing, with a market cap exceeding $2.11 trillion, surpassing Meta. MSCI passive buying has already entered, and FTSE Russell will include it on June 26, expected to bring $80-120 billion in net purchases. Elon Musk cited an in-depth analysis by analyst Brivael, who believes that SpaceX’s true value lies in it being a “space infrastructure company” rather than just a launch service provider. Multiple bloggers shared footage of SpaceX workers hugging Musk at Starbase and saying “We will succeed,” as well as Google’s investment gains from this IPO (Google holds 6% of SpaceX).<\/p>\n

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella published a long post on X titled “A Frontier Without an Ecosystem Is Unstable.” Baoyu and MaxForAI provided full translations and detailed interpretations. Nadella proposed a new concept of “Token Capital”\u2014enterprises need to manage both human capital and token capital (the AI capabilities they build themselves), and the two are not a trade-off but mutually reinforcing. He gave a test: whether you can swap out the underlying general-purpose large model at any time without losing the proprietary experience accumulated by the company. Nadella also issued a political warning: if a few models monopolize all industry value in the AI era, “the political and economic system will not tolerate it,” and he drew an analogy with the lessons of industrial outsourcing during globalization. Elon Musk commented on the article as “Interesting.”<\/p>\n
